Dual-energy X-ray tomography is considered in a context where the target under imaging consists of two distinct materials. The materials are assumed to be possibly intertwined in space, but at any given location there is only one material…

Multi-energy radiography is a new direction in non-destructive testing. Its specific feature is separate detection of penetrating radiation in several energy channels. Multi-energy radiography allows quantitative determination of the atomic…
Multi-Energy Computed Tomography (ME-CT) is a medical imaging modality aiming to reconstruct the spatial density of materials from the attenuation properties of probing x-rays. For each line in two- or three-dimensional space, ME-CT…
Dual-energy imaging is a clinically well-established technique that offers several advantages over conventional X-ray imaging. By performing measurements with two distinct X-ray spectra, differences in energy-dependent attenuation are…

Recent years have seen growing interest in exploiting dual- and multi-energy measurements in computed tomography (CT) in order to characterize material properties as well as object shape. Material characterization is performed by…
Multi-energy computed tomography (ME-CT) is an x-ray transmission imaging technique that uses the energy dependence of x-ray photon attenuation to determine the elemental composition of an object of interest. Mathematically, forward ME-CT…
Multi-energy CT has long demonstrated its ability to enhance image quality with material decomposition. Yet, it has largely been limited to applications that already have high contrast. More recently, x-ray phase-contrast (XPC) imaging has…
X-ray computed tomographic infrastructures are medical imaging modalities that rely on the acquisition of rays crossing examined objects while measuring their intensity decrease. Physical measurements are post-processed by mathematical…
Spectral imaging is the acquisition of multiple images of an object at different energy spectra. In mammography, dual-energy imaging (spectral imaging with two energy levels) has been investigated for several applications, in particular…
Reconstructing the unknown spectrum of a given X-ray source is a common problem in a wide range of X-ray imaging tasks. For high-energy sources, transmission measurements are mostly used to recover the X-ray spectrum, as a solution to an…

Dual energy CT (DECT) enhances tissue characterization because it can produce images of basis materials such as soft-tissue and bone. DECT is of great interest in applications to medical imaging, security inspection and nondestructive…
Non-destructive nano-imaging of the internal structure of solid matter is only feasible using hard X-rays due to their high penetration. The highest resolution images are achieved at synchrotron radiation sources (SRF), offering superior…
Computed Tomography (CT) is widely used in engineering and medicine for imaging the interior of objects, patients, or animals. If the employed X-ray source is monoenergetic, image reconstruction essentially means the inversion of a ray…
Dual-energy computed tomography (CT) is to reconstruct images of an object from two projection datasets generated from two distinct x-ray source energy spectra. It can provide more accurate attenuation quantification than conventional CT…
